Electoral Methods for 2012

118.     The timetable for universal suffrage set by the NPCSC last year enjoys wide support in the community.  To lay a solid foundation for universal suffrage, the top priority for the Third Term HKSAR Government is to determine the two electoral methods for 2012 with a view to further democratising the election systems.  In the first half of 2009, we will consult the public on the methods for electing the Chief Executive and for forming the Legislative Council in 2012.  I hope that in the coming years, different sectors and political parties will be pragmatic and make good use of the time to forge a consensus for the electoral arrangements in 2012.
